When Apple Computer decides to pay tribute to you by coining the term “Ken Burns Effect” to describe a film technique, than you know your doing something right! Award-winning director and producer of documentary films, Ken Burns was in Manchester, Vermont, last night signing autographs of his companion book to the film by the same […]

Do dogs just naturally tend to stay outside longer when the days get shorter? My dog Rocco refuses to come inside and makes himself cozy and comfortable sleeping on a weathered couch every night. His routine of dozing by my bedside is no more but instead growls at me if I budge him from his […]

Dental Extraordinaire Dr.Simon Rosenberg at 399 East 72nd Street is my new favorite dentist! During an assigment in NYC this week I videotaped a sixty-second web commercial for this super talented and humor-driven prosthodontist. Beyond having all the latest and greatest technologies (Milling Machine, Biolase Waterlase, CEREC Design Unit) his office assistants couldn’t be nicer. […]
